In this Episode we'll learn
how to clean your car's engine
with an alternative to avoid using water
run the Intro!
Weeelcome!
to a new Episode of FC Autos
and today we'll show
you a way to clean your car's engine bay without having to use water to do so
This Episode is once again brought to you thanks
to the support and partnership we have
with Valvoline!
Valvoline, thanks again so much for supporting us and our Channel

in a great partnership with you, our awesome Audience
as well as with our Sponsor!
now then, this is what we're going to need
We're going to need some stuff
like a couple of microfiber cloths
to do the cleaning process we'll use
a degreaser
this degreaser will help us remove
any grease or oil that the engine might have
and after that, we'll apply
a protection and shine product for the engine
there are different brands and types of products
that you could use and they normally have
numbers or steps like 1 and 2
so you can know which one to use first
we'll also use a black plastic restorer
to make all the plastics inside the engine bay look as if new
ok then, let's get started
by the way, we'll also use
different types of brushes
I'll explain why in just a bit
and I'll also use an
aerodynamic holding device that will help me
hold the hood up
let's do this!
-- You should really change that stick for a hood lift strut
this one?
sure thing!
why not? We can do it
the first thing we're going to do is brush the
whole area, without going into much detail
but we want to remove all the dust we can
In the places where it's harder
to use that kind of brush, you could use a painters brush
and carefully you can remove
the dirt on all the nooks
(Look how much dirt is coming out)
The advantage of using soft brushes
is that you can pass it over any electrical system or wiring
and you wouldn't have any issues nor damage these areas
Once we've removed all the dirt we could
with the brushes
we'll remove
all the plastic covers and caps
because these ones we can clean them apart
without having to apply any water here in the engine
with the soft brush we can now clean the
fuse box area
knowing that there will be no problems
if we do this
I'm also going to clean this part here
now what I'll do is clean these
with a wet microfiber
first over the details
I'm not going to worry to
clean it 100% because
I'll also be applying the degreaser
over this plastic
and the type of degreaser used
and specifically made to clean engines
doesn't affect nor damage plastics
and it doesn't affect the electrical connections either
Once they're relatively clean
I'm putting them back again
to do the complete cleaning process
including these caps
so this electrical area is protected
now, we're going to use a mildly wet microfiber
and we'll pass it over
all the are we can
still without going into much detail
we just want to remove any dirt that's still stuck
to have it ready to apply the degreaser
Once finished with the microfiber
in our car here's the alternator
we don't need to cover it with a plastic bag
but what I'll do
is cover it with a microfiber
so the degreaser won't drip over
the area where the copper wiring is
we don't need a plastic bag because
we won't be getting the area wet
but I do want to prevent the degreaser
from falling inside the copper wiring
we're now going to use
the first spray can
that says number 1 or step number 1
which is the degreaser itself
you could use most types of degreasers
and any brand
just make sure it says it won't damage any plastic
I'll start applying it by stages
I'll apply it from left to right
and I'll avoid applying the degreaser
here the the cold air filter is
if you also have an exposed air filter
try not to apply any degreaser over it
or it could get clogged
as a safety recommendation
when applying it do it a bit distant
don't get too close or you can also
use safety glasses
so it won't fall on your eyes
we'll do it slowly
(we can already see a difference, right?)
Now I'll apply it over the plastic
I'll make sure is completely closed
If like us, some degreaser falls
over your car's body
you can use a very wet microfiber
to clean the whole area
if we do it fast
it won't damage the clear coat
ok
now what we'll do
is let the degreaser work
for about 5 to 10 min
and after that, we'll start
cleaning the whole area
while we're waiting for
the degreaser to do its work
what we're going to do is apply
a bit of degraser
on a microfiber
and we'll start cleaning
the bottom side
of the hood
or bonnet
Check the product you are going to use
or the one you'll be buying
because in our case, it says it won't harm your hands
or the skin
so just for safety measures
if you do need to get very close, use safety glasses
but if you do it like this
and according to this product specs
you don't need gloves to do this activity
By the way
if you see us, well, if you see me because you've not met "Production"
just yet
but if you see us sweating too much is because we're at 48 Celsius
or 48 centigrade
which is what?
115 Fahrenheit?
It's really really hot right now
and that's why we're still working or filming
here in the garage they let us film in
once the 5 to 10 min have passed
we'll start cleaning the area with a
clean microfiber
We are now going to remove all the dirt completely
but if we used the microfiber that we were using before
instead of a clean one, we'd be just smearing the grease all over
and that's why we're using a clean one
we'll start first with all the plastic covers
or better said, with everything that's plastic
and after that, we'll start cleaning
the hoses
and lastly we'll clean the engine itself
and metal piping
--Cleaning the engine is just to make it look nice?
-- or why do you have to clean it?
It does have an aesthetic side or it
does have to do with making it look nice
but above that, it's to take care of it
because most of the times
well it doesn't happen here a lot because we live in a desert
but in most other places it could
get dirt that --Mud?
Mud, but with salt or silica
and that could corrode
or oxidize
the metallic parts of the engine
so, cleaning it thoroughly
is protecting it from any corrosion
that might affect it later on
Once everything's clean
once we've removed the degreaser
and all the dirt
we'll let it dry
for a few seconds and I'm
going to apply the black plastic restorer
to give all plastics more shine
and then I'll do the second step
To apply this plastic restorer is very easy
we've already made a video about it but
we'll explain it once again
The area is already clean and dry
over the plastics where you'll apply the restorer
you'll shake it a bit and the restorer
comes with this sponge
and you'll pour just a little over the sponge
and you'll just run it over
all the black plastics
this type of restorer works
on any type of black plastic or trim
whether it's inside or outside the car
but you have to be careful not to apply it over the paint
it's just for plastic
I'll also pass it over this whole area
I'll pass it over here
and also here
I'm applying it slowly so
I don't mess up the sponge
and I'm only using one side just
if it falls apart, I can use the other side
now to finish this, I'll apply it here
we'll let it dry for a while
if you want it even darker
you can let it dry and apply one or two more applications
and it'll look blacker
on all the dark plastics where you're applying this
type of product
Once it's completely dry
the last step we're going to do is
apply either
a silicon based lubricant
note it's not a penetrating oil
because that could loosen bolts
or connectors on the engine bay
so you can use either a silicon based lubricant
or a shine and protection product made for engines
The process is very similar
to applying the degreaser
Now we'll apply it carefully
what I don't want is to spray it all over
because it's not really necessary to apply it everywhere
just the black parts
and with a clean microfiber
I'll pass it over
to make a uniform shine all over the parts
I didn't apply it directly over this filter either
and I applied so little product
that I didn't need to cover it
there it is!
we're finished!
well here you have now an
alternative to clean the engine bay
without needing to apply or use water
some degreaser, some protection lubricant
it's just a matter of time
a good shade to work on
